‘We’re excited to get stuck in,’ says Ireland hooker Henry Walker

Last year in the senior ranks, Ireland lost to England in the Six Nations and went on to lift the trophy and this is what Neil Doak’s men will set out to do in this year’s U-20 championship.

A trip to the Hive in Edinburgh is next on the agenda today and the squad will be aiming to win their next four games, starting with the Scots, who are also looking to get their first win of the campaign.
